1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

We aim to be an as inclusive venue as possible, delivering a cultural experience for all members of the community. We are exploring the possibility of running workshops and events (such as cinema) specifically for Dementia groups.

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?

The challenges we can foresee are:

Making sure staff and volunteers are trained appropriately

Ensuring that the events we run are both quality and affordable for participants
